Message: [QUOTE="jimdawg185, post: 999163, member: 757"] I know there was some info in the thread about cracked blocks. But I am going to do this with my spare motor for a future drag truck, or maybe for my blue truck for daily driving after I collect all the parts. So, I have a basic understanding of the coolant path and where not to fill, but the more data we can collect from each other the better. First, coolant path. Obviously the coolant goes into the front of the block up through the heads and back out the front to through the front cover and on. Im sure that the head is balanced to create the proper flow path and equalize and optimize thermal transfer. Second, hard block fill level. If you pre ran tubing you could in theory you could nearly fill the block all the way to the top of the deck. However, I see this as a two edged sword. You get all the protection from block cracks but the combustion event happens up there and I see a need for a little room. So, what is the optimal solution here. Idea's, Comments, ect? Pics will come after I start to mess with it. I have to find a motor first... [/QUOTE]
